Hey r/loseit!
I've been at maintenance for a few months now. My original GW was 130, but that kept changing as I set new goals based on how I wanted my body to look.
I've been solidly at 120.6 for the past 2 months, eating around 1650/day. But I still have some stubborn belly fat, and I just started training for my first marathon.
I think that losing another 5 pounds will accomplish a few things:
- I'll have a more defined tummy
- I'll be less hot running in the summer, and might even get a little faster!
- I'll be super confident in summer clothes/bathing suits
So my goal is to cut those last 5 pounds by the end of April, by sticking with a strict 1200 calorie diet and continuing my exercise routine.
My only concern is that my running performance will suffer/that I'll be more prone to injury with this calorie deficit. I'm going to be very diligent about taking care of and listening to my body.
Weight loss is an ongoing, lifelong journey. Your goals can be tailored to where you are in your life, and they can be in a near constant flux.
Maybe after the marathon, I'll focus on bulking up and gaining some muscle! Who knows? I guess that's the fun of it. :)
Here's some progress pics for you guys!
